Australian kelpie Koko stars as the titular Red in this iconic Australian family film about a stray dog who wins the hearts of a remote mining community while searching for his master.

Inspired by a true story (and adapted from Louis de Bernières’ novella), Red Dog is an award-winning feature full of stunning outback cinematography and laconic 1970s Australian humour.

‘…a film with enough appeal to set tails wagging wherever it plays’ – The Guardian

Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
